This is not an official entery b/c i forgot to get the step by step pics :*(
But I figured this would be the place to show it considering the challenge!
This took a couple of hrs to do and I did not even get to finish it. It was getting late, but at least my daughter in law sat there long enough for me to get it to a point were i could take a decent pic.

Cute boy design!

At first I thought: I can't participate in the August challenge, I paint my own kids... But then I remembered that I have a very good friend who is due in 1 month . So here you go - my very first belly painting



It took around 45 mins. I think, I hadn't seen her in a while so we had a lot of talking to do

Argh, the picture becomes unsharp . It seems to happen when I upload it, I hope you can still read it

Very nice...I love your roses!! Good job

Great Job!!!!

YEAH! Whitney let me come over & do her belly today! So, here it is:

I used:

Many 1/2 sponges
#4 round brush
DFX metallic white & light blue, gold, bronze & that oxidized light green(I can't remember the name)
Wolfe metallic blue
Paradise black(I wanted the washed out look that it gave)
Starblend black(for shading... Thank you Lilly Walters for this trick!!!)

I used Wolfe white to draw out the basic design.

Shaded in the blue areas & the gold areas.

These are all very beautiful!

These look great!!! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. Bellies!!!! So exciting!!!

Well, I'm not sure how mine will measure up with the rest of them, but I at least wanted to try. All the paints are Snazaroo, sponge, small round (#2?) and a large round (#6?).
